To celebrate the upcoming release of the brand-new Ghostbusters movie in July 2016, Sony has launched their official Ghostbusters 2016 website at ghostbusters.com/ghostbusters-2016/!

Although the updated website doesn't give too much away about the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot, it has unveiled a selection of photographs of the characters in their civilian clothes with short character bios, and a first-look at Chris Hemsworth as Kevin, the Ghostbusters' secretary, which you can check out below! The website also features testimonials from original Ghostbusters stars Bill Murray (Dr. Peter Venkman), Dan Aykroyd (Dr. Ray Stantz) and Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore), and Ivan Reitman, the producer and director of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II.

Additionally, Paul Feig, the director of the new Ghostbusters movie, has announced on Twitter that a trailer for Ghostbusters should be released by the end of this month (February 2016)!

Many thought the death of Harold Ramis, who played Egon Spengler, in 2014 had put paid to a proper reunion, but Aykroyd’s comments suggest that we can look forward to him teaming up with Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson in the near future.

Obviously, Aykroyd wouldn’t let on to anything about story details, but he did tease that it’ll try and recapture what worked so well about the original films while giving it a “21st century” twist.

If so, there's good news from the world of Gozer — there’s a new Ghostbusters movie in the works!

Entertainment Weekly has learned exclusively that Jason Reitman will direct and co-write an upcoming film set in the world that was saved decades previously by the proton pack-wearing working stiffs in the original 1984 movie, which was directed by his father, Ivan Reitman.

“I’ve always thought of myself as the first Ghostbusters fan, when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans,” Reitman says. “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day.”
